Toward the reduction of meteorological disasters in East Asia including China and Japan as the overall goal, the purpose of the JICA/Tibet Project is to strengthen the operational weather forecasting system of China through the development of numerical weather prediction models importing data obtained by the quantitatively and qualitatively improved observation systems for the Tibetan Plateau and its eastern surrounds. The Project was divided into three phases: (1) a phase for establishing the observation system and developing prediction models (December 2005–September 2007), (2) a phase for operating the established system and improving the developed models (October 2007–August 2008), and (3) a phase for evaluating the performance of the observation system and prediction models (September 2008–June 2009).

Using the data obtained from the JICA/Tibet Project, a data system for data quality checking, data archiving and data searching was developed and established by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS). The data obtained from the JICA/Tibet Project open to science communities in accordance with the data policy of the Asia Monsoon Year (AMY) Project under the World Climate Research Plan (WCRP).

USE CONSTRAINTS

Data Policy by Data Provider

The data obtained from the JICA/Tibet Project open to science communities in accordance with the data policy of the Asia Monsoon Year (AMY) ProjectD

1. No financial implications are involved for the AMY data exchange.

2. Commercial use and exploitation of AMY data is prohibited.

3. Any re-export or transfer of the original data received from the CDA archive to a third party is prohibited.

4. The origin of AMY data being used for publication of scientific results must be acknowledged and referenced in the publication.

6. Co-authorship of data users and AMY Projects’ Principle Investigators on papers making extensive use of AMY data is justifiable and highly recommended.

@

@Whenever AMY data distributed by CDA are being used for publication of scientific results, the author(s) shall sent a copy of the respective publication, preferably in electronic form, to the CDA in order to build up a AMY publication library. CDA will maintain this library and will it make public, for example via CDA's web site, for a continuous monitoring of the AMY data applications and AMY's achievements in general.

Data Integration and Analysis System

The terms of data use of data providers take first priority over the DIAS data usage policy. In the event a data provider has not established terms of use, the following DIAS project data terms of use apply.

1. Users shall prioritize and abide by terms of use stipulated by a data provider in the event such exist

2. The use of DIAS data sets is limited to research and educational purposes [*1]

3. Users shall not modify the content of DIAS data sets

4. Users shall not provide the content of DIAS data sets to third parties

5. In the event of using DIAS data sets in an academic presentation, paper, article, or report, etc., users shall cite in parenthesis the text given as the data citation

6. In the event of using DIAS data sets in an academic presentation, paper, article, or report, etc., users shall submit a copy of the work (an offprint in the case of a paper, or a copy of the lecture summary in the case of an oral or poster presentation) to the DIAS office below

[*1] Data sets whose commercial usage are allowed under the data policy by data provider will be also allowed to be used commercially as DIAS data sets, after ongoing preparation works have been completed. Please contact the DIAS Office for more details.

Disclaimer for Project

Data Integration and Analysis System

1. DIAS data provider is not liable for any losses or any damage when DIAS data sets are used.

2. DIAS data and related information are subject to change without any prior notice.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Dataset Acknowledgement

The dataset are used for any academic presentations, and any publication of scientific results, the author(s) shall specify the following acknowledgement

“The data set is archived and provided under the framework of the Japan–China Meteorological Disaster Reduction Corporation Research Center (JICA/Tibet) Project"

Project Acknowledgement

Asian Monsoon Year Project

Whenever AMY data distributed by the CDA are being used for publication of scientific results, the data's origin must be acknowledged and referenced. A minimum requirement is to reference AMY and the CDA. If only data from one observation site (or a limited number of observation sites) has been used, additional acknowledgement to the observation site(s) and its (their) maintaining institutions or organizations shall be given.

Maintaining continuous, high-quality measurements, performing quality and error checking procedures, and submitting data and related documentation to the CDA will require substantial financial and logistical efforts of the data providers. The necessary support for these observation site activities originate from a variety of international, national and institutional sources. The CDA shall make proper reference to all AMY data providers and, if required, to their funding sources.

Data Integration and Analysis System

Whenever DIAS dataset is used for any academic presentations, and any publication of scientific results, the author(s) shall specify the following acknowledgement and if the data provider has their own acknowledgement quotation, the author(s) shall use both acknowledgements.

"The DIAS dataset is archived and provided under the framework of the Data Integration and Analysis System (DIAS) funded by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)."
